Kick off 11.15 pm according to google (I thought it was 11.45pm). Is the team named today?

Really want Aussie to get up for this one Perth-style, think England will be a tough SF opponent (if we beat Ire) if they're high on confidence from winning well.

I just want all our Southern neighbors to beat the UK teams. And of course I think we have a better chance against Aus than England. I'd love to see them pull out a Perth game.

What about Ireland? You didn't mention them.....just the UK teams....

Aren't Ireland part of the Uk?

No. They are the republic of Ireland

You appear to have fallen into a sarchasm

To be fair, the Ireland rugby team also represents Northern Ireland don't they? So double fail.

Yes they do. I dont know if its official but when I visited Belfast the cabbie I talked rugby with said they do. Are there any northern Irish players in the team?

Haha oh boy fella, you like to live dangerously? Heard of Ulster?

Yeah I have thanks. I just don't know where the players current Irish team hail from

I know its posturing but it's a bit disrespectful towards one of the top refs in the world

Fortunately he is also one of the least likely to pay any attention to that sort of bollocks.

Maybe he'll pay more attention at the breakdown now?

So he wants Owens to ref the breakdown. Does that mean he wants him to stop Ireland trying to slow the ball down on the deck?

oh, my sides! Ireland are worried about NZ playing Owens??? FFS

Oh, definitely.

FFS is that part of the current team strip????!! Who the hell authorized a grey and black shirt, don't they know those colours are to be forever banned from being on an AB strip of any kind!!!!???!!

@Machpants said in RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2):

Interesting that he specifically says they don't expect an aerial bombardment, double tripple bluff? They'd have to tie Murray's shoe laces together to stop the box kicks!

Trying to fool the fooler. Good stuff
